Hi,

This is just a friendly reminder to invite you all to check out
osm-gps-map [1]. The optimisations you describe and many others were
implemented in osm-gps-map a while ago. In fact, the excellent
performance of osm-gps-map is one of the main reasons it is used in many
of the most popular mapping apps on maemo.

Cheers,

John
